I am a high school biology teacher who would like to have extra motivation to read science-related books and discuss them outside of school. These wouldn't be textbooks, they would be more "popular science" that are educational and entertaining as well! Authors will include Richard Dawkins, Natalie Angier, E.O. Wilson, Carl Sagan, and Rachel Carson among others. There are many of these that have been on my "to-do" list for a long time. This group is alcohol-friendly. :)
Of course other science teachers would be great for this group, because we could talk about our jobs too. But anyone who is interested in science reading is welcome!! No prior science knowledge is necessary, promise.
Our next Meetup"The Panda's Thumb" by Stephen Jay Gould
The Panda's Thumb is the second volume of collected essays by the Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. The essays were culled from his monthly column "This View of Life" in Natural History magazine, to which Gould contributed for 27 years. The book deals, in typically discursive fashion, with themes familiar to Gould's writing: evolution and its teaching, science biography, probabilities and common sense. Read more

“I'm about to graduate with a degree in biology but due to course loads I haven't had the time to read non textbook science related books. I would love to have an excuse to read them more. (A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson = great)”
